Barbie screenwriters Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach have shared some of the notes that toy manufacturing company Mattel gave them on their script.The husband and wife filmmaking duo were celebrating the record-breaking blockbuster with author Tony Kushner recently.
According to Variety, they revealed that during the movie’s beach battle scene between the feuding Kens, a Mattel exec, led there by CEO Will Ferrell, is shot with a fake arrow.Baumbach (Marriage Story, White Noise) said, “There was a note when we first turned the script.
On page 111: ‘Does a Mattel executive have to be shot?’ At the time we were like, that should just be on the ad!’But Gerwig weighed in on Mattel’s notes, adding that they were suggestive rather than strict.
She added, “All the notes had a question mark at the end. It wasn’t like, ‘This has to happen.’ It was more, ‘But does he have to be?’”The movie, which highly satirizes and occasionally criticizes Mattel for its mass production, male-led management board and the portrayal of women through Barbie, has made over $1.4 billion at the box office.
